GObject.TypeClass.ref removed in glib 2.86

[Ikke]

The ffi.load_enum function uses GObject.TypeClass.ref:

lgi/lgi/ffi.lua

Line 83 in a412921

local type_class = GObject.TypeClass.ref(gtype)

According to the glib documentation, the ref function has been deprecated since glib 2.84, and apparently removed in glib 2.86. The documentation instructs to use TypeClass.get instead.

Just changing ref to get fixes the issue for me, but such a change would mean glib >= 2.84 is required.

One of the forks seem to have fixed this to support both approaches, depending on the current glib version: vtrlx@54d90bf.
